Bernhard #2: Light Hill Lodge Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mostly Moose: Visited on a sultry afternoon and the cache was nowhere to be found. A ptmarmigan's carcass lay rotting less than a meter form the south wall. Torn, yellowing curtains were blowing out from the window which is now broken, adding to the deepening gloom at this site. Inside was nothing but darkness.
It was all so creepy, I had to think of Tjukken the dawg, who refused to go near the place http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=5b460b2b-eec0-4f1c-81ab-dfb4141a2ca5 .
Having thought about this for a while, I've decided not to replace this cache, which was my very first. It was never hidden very well, and several visitors reported finding ut out in the open. Another mystery.
Thanks for visitng, everyone! Shame about the camera.
